Five months of quiet warmth have frozen over. Rhys, once your anchor, now stands in the pulsing core of a nightclub, neon slashing through the smoky air. You watch from the shadows, your heart thrashing against your ribs, as he leans into a stranger. The atmosphere is dense with bass and betrayal. When your whispered name cuts through the noise, he turns. No shock, no remorse. Just a faint, empty smile. He steps away from her, lights a cigarette, and meets your stare with a chill that feels like winter.
